Kalu Ak Fishing Derby Introduced In 3.3 Patch Notes Update

Blizzard has just released the details of the Kalu’ak Fishing Derby that’s coming with patch 3.3. The full announcement after the break.

Some of the major points of the announcement:

• The derby happens at 8:00pm Server Time every Wednesday.
• You have to be the first person to catch the Blacktip Shark and turn it in to win the Derby.
  
• The quest giver, Elder Clearwater, is located in Dalaran.
• Two item rewards (detailed after the break). One is a BoA +5% XP ring, and one is a BoP pair of boots that teleport you to Booty Bay.
• Winning the Derby increases Kalu'ak rep by 5000.

The derby winner will receive a substantial chunk of experience (or money at maximum level) and gain 5000 reputation with the Kalu'ak. In addition, the champion will be given a choice between two unique rewards:

Dread Pirate Ring Binds on Account Unique-Equipped Finger +34 Stamina Requires level 1 to 80 (80) Equip: Improves critical strike rating by 53. Equip: Improves hit rating by 29. Equip: Experience gained from killing monsters and completing quests increased by 5%. Boots of the Bay Binds When Picked Up Feet Requires Fishing (200) Equip: Increased Fishing +15. Use: Whisks you away to the finest drinking establishment in Booty Bay. (1 Day Cooldown)

To keep it interesting, the Achievement "Master Angler of Stranglethorn" has been changed to "Master Angler of Azeroth." This can be earned by winning either the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby or the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.

Please bear in mind this feature will be undergoing testing on our Public Test Realms and is subject to change prior to the release of patch 3.3.0.
